This is such an amazing coffee shop. They have amazing lattes and great customer service. I got a funnel cake ice latte a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing. They also have a punch card to earn some $ off a new drink. It's also a cute little cozy coffee shop. You should definitely check it out! read more

The counters and coffee stations look very clean which I appreciate, of course. The coffee itself is average. Nothing that I would drive out of my way for. I would have had higher hopes for the quality of coffee they used here since it's not a chain coffee shop. In order to compete, the coffee needs to be memorable. I had a drink that was on special, the nutcracker with oat milk. It wasn't real sweet which was good, but it didn't wow me. read more

Very cute little cafe with delicious crepes. The restaurant seemed clean and our food was quick and delicious. I would've liked more options for savory crepes that didn't contain eggs. I ended up getting the Nutella and strawberry crepe, which was filling and delicious. Everyone loved their food and we look forward to going back to try their paninis next! read more

I had the butter pecan latte today and it was the perfect combination of buttery and pecan flavor that I love in ice cream except in a hot latte drink. The crepes take a really long time to make (waited close to half an hour for 3) and are a bit tough. The Nutella and banana ones are tasty and come with walnuts and whipped topping. They are a bit pricey too ($9) each. There aren't too many tables inside and you can get your items to go. Friendly service. read more

Very cute and friendly coffee shop I enjoy stopping into when I'm in the area. They have a big variety of coffee and tea flavors and I enjoy trying new ones when I stop in. I like their sugar free flavors too. I like their selection of sweets and breakfast food. I've gotten the ham and egg breakfast sandwich before and it's tasty. I noticed they are often short staffed sometimes which is understandable, but you will be waiting a bit to get a hot breakfast item as I have waited over 10-15 min the most recent times I've been there and there wasn't a line. Everything I have gotten here has tasted good and inside the shop is very cute and clean. read more

Tasty little breakfast place tucked into a quite large strip mall. Don't let the strip mall setting dismay you though. The inside is nicely decorated. When you're here get the crepes. They're wonderful and HUGE. Their namesake crepe was kicked up with siriacha, really spicing up my morning. It's plated quite attractively as well! Coffee wise, I'm not sure where they source the beans or that, but the breve I got was just fine. Price was great, especially for the size of the crepe. I'm not a huge breakfast person, but those weekend mornings where I need something, this is top of my list. read more

Loved Cafe Americano. Seems relatively new but I'm not sure how long they've been here. Restaurant and bathrooms clean. Lots of seating inside and was not too busy at 1030am on a Saturday but started to get busier when we left. Delicious crepes brought out to you in about 5 minutes. The Veggie Crepe was packed with feta, eggs and vegetables so they definitely don't skimp on the filling! I'd definitely get it again. My husband loved his Signature Americano crepe which he said was packed with prosciutto. I was pleased with the London Fog. Breakfast and drinks for 2 for $25.

I have been enjoying the crepes and cappuccinos at Cafe Americano since before the COVID pandemic. I have had both the savory and sweet crepes. Stopped in today for lunch. The coffee shop is extremely clean. The inside tables are nicely spaced and there are 6-foot notifications on the floor. There are also 2 tables outside. My veggie crepe was delicious--flavorful and full. The owner delivered it to our table. Everyone is friendly. It's the little things about the restaurant that I appreciate...jade plant on the table, pretty mugs for cappuccino, art in ladies room (yes, it's a strange thing to appreciate ---but attention to detail by the owner). In addition to crepes, there are paninis and baked goods...which I hope to have someday, but love the crepes. read more

The little cafe is nothing short of spectacular. The atmosphere is so simple and relaxing, which is such a nice break from the more corporate places I'm used to in this area. The coffee is amazing, my favorites have been their Caramel Macchiato and their Pumpkin Spice Latte, and that's just the beginning. The chef, whose name I always forget to catch, makes the most amazing crepes, and panini's. (In addition he's a total sweetheart!!) The Wild Berry Crepes are literally happiness on a plate. The endlessly amazing customer service is just the cherry on top. It's my new favorite place to escape hands down! read more

I don't typically get annoyed at restaurants and try to be patient and understanding since I know it's not an easy job. It's extremely rude in my opinion to sweep while someone is eating underneath someone's table or around the area they are eating...It's also a health concern. It's also super obnoxious when someone's eating as they feel rushed. In addition it's just really disgusting to watch all the food from the day be collected into one spot right next to your table. Not thrilled with this place. read more

Spontaneous coffee meeting with good friends. Wow! Cafe Americano is a hidden gem. Not easy to find tucked between other small stores in Lebanon Shoppes, but so glad I found it. Wide variety of unique coffees, teas, lattes, smoothies and milkshakes. Most pleasant surprise was the hot panini menu. Hot Italian, Margherita Pesto were our two favorite paninis. Took one home for the husband for dinner later on, and it reheated well. Hot and crunchy as though it was first made! Between my friends and I, there was nothing we did not savor. A must-see, must-taste menu off the beaten path. Staff was courteous, and helpful. Have been there twice since my first visit, and loved it all. Limited seating, pricey but fresh, delicious food. It's a small business worth supporting. read more

I have always had a pleasant experience here, and have been impressed with their coffee and food alike. However, after seeing this advertisement today, I will not be returning. With such tragic recent events in our Pittsburgh community, I do not feel comfortable giving my business to a company that so openly flaunts firearm possession, especially so flippantly in a raffle. While I understand this is a personal opinion, I find this wildly distasteful for a business to put front and center and will not be returning. Do better. read more

I was sad to see Blue Canary Coffee close at this location, but was at least heartened when I saw the spot would be occupied by a new independent coffee shop! I had their signature Americano crepe, an iced latte, and a gluten-free donut. The crepe was seriously the best I've ever had! Perfectly cooked, generous size, and great flavor!! The cream sauce in this is unusual and amazing! The iced latte was strong, which I like. For once, I didn't have to ask for an extra shot of espresso. The donut was just ok, but glad to see a gluten-free option. I had to kill several hours while waiting on other things to be done, so I ended up getting a banana strawberry smoothie also, which was very good. Not too sweet, which I liked!! The customer service was fine. The man working at the counter was pleasant enough, but I know what the other reviewer means by "no small talk." I'm not one for over-solicitous service, so I kind of appreciate that there's not a ton of chit chat. But it was pretty sparse even for me. I think it's just his personality, but I think the other reviewer was referring to a female employee?? Just noting it because it may become an issue if this is the general vibe. Also, it was nice to see how involved the Blue Canary was with the community, and I didn't see that here. Maybe that will come with time. It would be great if they could open earlier for pre-work coffee. :) Overall, would recommend!! Great food and latte! Hoping they'll engage a little more with their customers and community.

I visited Coffee Etc. recently for an afternoon pick-me-up. Since this shop is close to my house,…read moreand everything they have is so good, it is one that I find myself coming back to time after time. Coffee Etc. is a locally-owned coffee shop located in the heart of Castle Shannon. It is near well-known places such as Ice Castle and just down the hill from Myrtle Elementary. They serve traditional and artisan coffees and teas, along with an extensive menu of breakfast and lunch items. There is always a selection of desserts and pastries on the counter as well. It is right along the T line, so it is easy to get to both by vehicle and public transit. There is not a private parking lot, but there are spaces along the street out front, as well as ample Street parking options around and behind the building. I have never had to park too far away when making a stop here, often securing a space right in front. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating options. There are two-person and four-person tables that surround the front entrance. Inside, there are low-top tables, high-top tables and couches to choose from. On the weekends, it can be packed in here in terms of seating. I usually am able to find a table, but just be aware in case you are coming during a peak time! Overall, the vibe is a comfy and cozy cafe. It is warm, inviting, and makes you want to hang out for awhile. I always love the in-progress puzzle that sits at the counter where drinks are handed out. You can contribute a little bit to the work-in-progress in your idle moments waiting for your order to be ready. It is also fun to see what puzzle will be there the next time you visit. Something cool about this place is their dedication to their faith. They have free Bibles available for visitors, and they host different Bible studies and groups throughout the week. On this day, I visited around 1:45 PM on a Wednesday in September. It was not very busy, but there were other patrons in the shop. I took a moment to look at the monthly specials on the board outside, and made my way in to order a drink. The staff here are always so friendly and kind, and so it is no surprise that I was promptly greeted when entering. I was between a few of the drinks, but I ended up deciding on the Kettle Corn Iced Latte, since that is not a flavor you see everyday for coffees. As it was not busy at this time, I only waited a minute or so from the time I placed my order to when I had the drink in-hand. My drink was very good! I loved the unique flavor of the Kettle Corn, as I had never had that in a coffee before this latte. I truly have never had a bad drink or food item from here, and this visit was no different. They have so many different flavors and sauces to choose from, you will surely find one to your liking. I typically get one of the features/seasonal drinks, but you are able to customize any which way you want. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing here, so I have to mention them in this review as well. I did not get one on this visit, but they are made-to-order and the quality is top-notch. There are several sandwiches on the menu, but you can also customize your own. I recommend getting the Chipotle Raspberry Jam on whatever sandwich you choose. It is wonderful! Plus, the sandwiches come with a little cookie as a sweet ending to your meal. The pricing here is on-par with what you would expect from a local coffee shop. I am usually spending between $6 and $7, depending on the size. I will typically get a custom sandwich, which starts at $7.50. It is not off-base with what you would expect for a local shop. I do feel the value is there, since everything is so tasty and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I always love coming to Coffee Etc, and I highly recommend you give it a try if you are in the area or are thinking about stopping. The atmosphere, homemade sandwiches, variety of drinks, and the cozy vibes keep me coming back time and time again. Plus, they are always having new and seasonal drinks to try, so there will always be something different to enjoy.

Gloria Jeans is located inside the South Hills Village Mall. It's very affordable. I got a frozen…read morecoffee drink which was the caffeine kick I needed. Wasn't too sweet. My friend got a boba coffee and loved it. That is the drink they are known for apparently. This isn't a coffee shop where you sit down and do work. There are a few tables in the front near the entrance to the mall so it's not quiet. So just FYI!

I've heard great things, but I wasn't the biggest fan! Maybe I just didn't order the right thing. I…read moregot a strawberry matcha latte, it was okay.

Usually I…read moreorder ahead of time and pick it up whenever it says it's ready but every time I do so, my drink is watered down (from the ice melting) and my food is cold. It's clear they make the order quicker than the wait time which isn't a bad thing necessarily but it became frustrating eventually. Time and time again my order was watered down and cold so I started to place it then come slightly earlier. The employee who spoke to me at the drive through was insanely rude about how early I came (there was nobody else in the drive through or parking lot). Me and my boyfriend were taken aback by this interaction because they typically are nice! We totally didn't mind waiting for the order as we weren't in a rush. It's frustrating as a customer when my orders are cold and unenjoyable or I'm either met with hostility and passive aggressiveness. I'm aware that placing the order and arriving before isn't the best option but if it's the only way to get my order fresh, then what else am I meant to do?

They gave me someone else's drink. Whatever no big deal right? Wrong. Today on March 9th, I ordered the same thing. Once delivered; it was a GRANDE Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte and a Bacon Gouda Sandwich. How can you possibly screw something up when the order details are right in front of your face??? I called Starbucks and the gentleman over the phone tried to tell me it was the Dashers fault. Buddy couldn't even take responsibility for his or his coworkers mistake.

I always order via the mobile app so I can run in, pick up my order, and continue on with my day (especially if I'm headed back to work after an early appointment). Big shout-out to the staff because my order has always been ready, and has always been perfect. They are on top of things here! The menu is the standard Dunkin' fare that we all know and love (at least I'm assuming you love it if you're visiting a Dunkin'). So donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee. Lots of stuff to satisfy my sweet tooth, for sure, although I'm also a big fan of a good bagel breakfast sammie! Only bummer is that this location has no drive-thru, so no matter what you'll have to park to get your order. I do recommend the mobile app (especially if you're a regular, gotta get those perks!), but the Dunkin' store itself has lots of space so even when they're busy, I've never gotten the claustrophobic feelings that have come up when waiting in line at a jam-packed smaller store. All in all this is a solid Dunkin' and a good place to go for donuts and coffee. Here's to my future sweet-treats and pick-me-ups!

I'm rating it this way for a few reasons, but mainly it's the lack of attention to detail that irks me the most. Mostly high school aged kids that work here so maybe they just need to be taught more, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt there. Their pickup area is a wreck. There's sections to sort the order names but they just throw them all on the counter with no order, so the sections are useless and the customers are left to literally touch every single coffee to find their name and check if it's theirs. Ew. I've ordered decaf twice from here and both times it was not decaf. And I've also ordered an iced and got a hot, which they fixed but it's the waste of time and materials that's a shame here. Another thing that I don't like about this and is maybe not this location's fault, but any smaller Starbucks kiosk... Their menu is condensed so you don't know all of the offerings or pricing. They only list the grande pricing and a handful of drinks. I would like to use the fact that it's a kiosk as an excuse, but it's honestly bigger than the one inside target and they have a bigger menu so idk. I probably wouldn't come here again, I'd rather go to the one inside Target then.

The crepes are too good. The cool modern interior makes it nice to sit down and grab a quick bite. It's a nice addition to the shopping plaza since there's not a place like this around there. read more

Cons: I wasn't a fan of the syrups used for the latte, as they had a very artificial taste (you know the one) and it was overly sweet for a combo of fall savory flavors. I'd like to give them another shot, as I love a local coffee shop. Just didn't hit for me this time!

An employee promptly took our order. We sat at a table of our choosing. Several minutes later, employees brought our drinks and food to us. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Pistachio Croissant - 4.5 stars - This croissant was a large size and was covered in pistachio pieces and icing. Note that my receipt says a price of $7, although their website and restaurant menu says $6.50. Turkish Black Tea - 4 stars - This tea tasted rich and slightly bitter. Moroccan Tea - 5 stars - I first encountered Moroccan tea last year when I vacationed in Morocco. This tea tasted similarly minty and sweet. Iced Chai Latte - 3 stars - My husband ordered this drink. It was not bad, but he said that he did not like the flavor or the grittiness. The total price was $19 plus tax and tip.

I've tried a decent amount of their menu items and everything has always been delicious and filling. Highly recommend the beet and goat cheese salad as well as the chicken salad sandwich! Two of my all time favorites. The service was friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. My biggest complaint? The place is not clean. Every table that was open was dirty. Trash on the floor and under tables. I had to get some napkins wet at the water dispenser and wipe the table down myself, and it was not that busy. Went to use the restroom to wash my hands after cleaning the table and there was no toilet paper OR paper towels in the women's restroom. Had to use the men's to wash my hands. Really disappointed in this experience honestly. When a restaurant is dirty in the seating area, it makes me wonder about the state of the kitchen.

COFFEE & DRINKS: The black coffee sits between Dunkin' and Starbucks in terms of strength--not weak, but not overly bold either. The Turkish espresso was excellent and came with nice presentation (traditional cups, tray, and utensil). FOOD: Tried the butter croissant, almond croissant, chocolate mousse cake, and Turkish delights (similar to gummy candy). All were fresh and worth ordering. SEATING: 5-7 laptop-friendly spots depending on how you count the larger booths. Mix of booth and table seating, all comfortable for extended sessions. LAPTOP-FRIENDLY: Outlets available in the booth seating and alongside the larger tables. WiFi was reliable. Generally quiet during off-peak hours. ATMOSPHERE: Warm, modern, cozy Mediterranean vibe with earthy colors, soft lighting, and comfy booths. Relaxed environment that's inviting and calm--stylish without being precious or flashy. Conducive to both focus work, dates, and casual meetings. SERVICE: Baristas were friendly and sociable without being intrusive. VALUE: Standard pricing for a quality local cafe. GOOD TO KNOW: Parking can be tricky in Squirrel Hill if you're unfamiliar with the area, but street parking is ample (paid/metered or free with some walking) if you're willing to walk a short distance. Open late. Study-friendly locations near CMU tend to be busier during fall and spring semesters. I'll be back regularly for work sessions.

The Turkish coffee was served in a very unique way. They brought out the general coffee separate from a foam, which you could then mix or drink separately. Very cool, not too bitter, good texture. Bit on the expensive side but not too much. The Turkish delight was also good, but a bit overpriced in my opinion. They come straight from a box. I honestly wanted to try another one of their special drinks, but they were out. I recommend the special menu! The space itself is decently small but nice, and the girl working there was sweet and the spot is open late!
